Currently, we insist on showing a Connected and Disconnected state, and a Connect and Disconnect commands. That is a legacy from the old versions of the application that used Zeos library components to create a direct TCP connection to the MySQL server and we used a SSH tunnel.

However, when we changed to the HTTP-to-MySQL gateway PHP script we started using simple HTTP connections, which are stateless.

Maybe it would be more useful to use a browser analogy, which is a stateless client.
